Assessment Instructions

The ITA will issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection within 15 days after August 9, 2010. The ITA has calculated an importer/customer-specific assessment amount for subject merchandise, and will direct CBP to assess the resulting per-unit dollar amount against each unit of merchandise on each of that importer's or customer's entries during the review period.

The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by Palini for which Palini did not know its merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
